Work for a tutorial center Requester: Kellogg-EC Group Reward: $1.00 per HIT HITs Available: 1 Duration: 35 minutes Qualifications Required: HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 96, Location is US
https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview.../215feByYqvI=&externalHit=true&canAccept=true Has anyone tried any of these HITs? I emailed the requester about the 60 second time limit. He did email right back and say that he believes these can be done in 30 seconds or less. I tried one and couldn't even find the radio station. Just wondering if anyone else is having any luck or trying them.
I just tried one and it wanted a radio station for Hare Krishna. My issue is there are too many variables for error on these. The one hit I did had links for both Winamp and Windows Media Player. (Which one does he need?) The website I found was a directory that led me to the actual website of the station. The link is embedded on their site, so I would have to find that info elsewhere. I did all this in 60 seconds and still had no answer. The key was, I didn't accept the hit until I had the answers ready to plug in. That way, I didn't have to return or abandon the hit if I didn't find the info. UPDATE: Hits are gone. I doubt 2K hits just went that fast. I think the requester has taken them down.
I emailed him and he responded back to me. I told him he will have to re-do the batch, the timeframe is too short and it doesn't give us enough time to research. Hopefully he takes my consideration. Only time will tell.
For the pay, I still don't see where it is worth it and where the risk is worth it. Like I said in the post above, too many variables to face a rejection over for me.
I wish requesters would understand that just because a HIT can be done in a time period doesn't mean it will necessarily, all types of things can happen with that time: the computer could be slow loading, you might have to get up, you might blink...seriously just give a little more time
It's not even the TO that worries me, There are multiple types of links for online radio. How do we know which player he is looking for it to even work with? What if I submit one that works with Windows Media Player and he is wanting one that works for Winamp. What if the player is embedded and wont allow you to listen off of their website? Too much risk, and I didn't even check the TO before looking into it, so that just sealed the deal for me.
